Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Blue sniffed as she choked on her words, tears were streaming down her face and she was in Cindy's arms.

Even Cindy was crying

Audrey brought a hanky and Cindy took it.

She brought another one and used it to wipe Blue's face

Audrey : it's okay baby, don't cry anymore

Blue : but I want Adrian, and I'm so confused right now, what was he doing with her if she was his sister

Cindy looked up at them

Cindy: the prince doesn't have a sister, he's an only child

Audrey : then is she his girlfriend?

Blue : why would he have a girlfriend and ask me out?

Audrey : just forget about him Blue, we can't answer that question yet. Maybe he'll come around, he definitely will if it's you he loves.

Cindy: yes, let's wait for him. Maybe she used magic on him too. Who knows, she might be a wicked mermaid. Ughhhh

She used her fingers like a paw and waved them towards Blue

The trio laughed

Cindy: so you never loved any merman at all

Blue sat up

Blue : no, it was only Rainbow

Audrey : is Jace handsome?

Cindy: what's the color of his tail?

Blue : I don't know, leave me

The three of them laughed and threw more questions at Blue

***

Cindy and Audrey were going to sleep over.

It was Derek who informed them about Blue's whereabouts since Adrian told him.

Blue left her room and went outside.

She wanted to be alone

In order to get the two girls off her neck, she gave them a jar of cookies to share.

Knowing the type of person they were, they would want to share it equally

The total number of the cookies were 21

She knew they would share ten ten but start arguing on who to have the remaining one.

She went to the back of the house and looked up to the window of her room.

Her light was on and she could hear them arguing and their shadows moving.

She smiled weakly and moved away.

She went to the beach and looked over the water.

It was cold out there so she began to hug herself

Memories of when she was locked in the dungeon the day Rainbow died came setting in

She sat on the sand and curled up, hugging her legs.

Tears began to flow

Blue : why I'm I so unfortunate? What is wrong with me?

She started sobbing more and the cold breeze was brushing against her body.

Someone called her from the back and she turned her face to see who it was

Ma'am Nina : do you remember your song?

Blue : mother

Her mother moved to her and sat down beside her

Ma'am Nina : do you remember the song you sang the day I was to tell you that we'll be leaving for the shore?

Blue nodded

Her mother smiled and stroke her hair.

She leaned on her mother's shoulder and her mother continued to stroke her hair

Then her mother began to sing the song for her.

She closed her eyes and began to sing too

Sometimes in life, they're questions that need answers

You might ask why

But you don't see why

You try to soar high but things are going down

When the ones you love starts backing off

And your once bright life starts turning dark

But at this point in time, you have to get up

Get up and fight the figth

Of survival

Cos it's all going to be okay soon

Yes it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay

It's gonna be OK...aayy

Both of them smiled as they hugged each other

Nina: it's cold here, let's go inside

She stood up and helped Blue up. They dusted themselves and went back to the beach house

Cindy: Blue where have you been?

Blue : outside, what's wrong?

Cindy: it's Audrey, she ate the last cookie without sharing it with me and now she grabbed two of my extra cookies and ran off to God knows where

Blue sighed and held her hand

Blue : follow me to the kitchen let's eat some pizza

Cindy: yay! Pizza

They got to the kitchen and saw Audrey about to take a slice of pizza into her mouth.

She froze when she saw them

Blue : what

Cindy: thief, Blue freeze her.

Audrey quickly began to eat the pizza and started to run away.

The two girls pursued her out of the kitchen and round the whole house.

They even got outside of the house pursuing her and laughing .

Ma'am Nina sighed softly and chuckled.

Nina : I hope you're safe Kyl. I just have this feeling that everything is not okay, but I hope you're safe

It's been a week already. Blue didn't even receive a short text from Adrian.

Sometimes she swallowed her pride and called him but he wouldn't Just pick up.

She began to wonder what exactly was wrong

Audrey and Cindy had resigned from working in Edinburgh and now work with her at her mother's working place.

That was the only reason why she was a bit lively apart from the time she spent with her mother.

After working for a few hours, her shift was over so she decided to try and call Adrian again.

Anytime she thought of him or wanted to call him, her heart would start beating very fast

The phone began to ring but no response again.

Tears began to fall down her eyes.

She misses him so much

She loves him

She just wished none of this happened

She keeps blaming herself for rejecting him at first but she didn't mean it.

She just didn't want to accept immediately

Suddenly the phone was picked

She jerked

~hello... hello... hello Adrian

~quit disturbing us please. Adrian doesn't want you, isn't the message clear enough?

It was a lady's voice

~who are you?

~Princess Gladys of Birmingham, soon to be Queen Gladys of Edinburgh

Blue's tears streamed down more

~Prince Adrian and I are getting wedded soon. You're invited

Blue left the phone and it smashed on the floor.

Audrey came there just at that moment

Audrey : what's wrong Blue. Are you okay?

Blue began to sob out and brushed her hand into her hair.

Audrey understood what she was going through after she saw the broken phone.

She embraced Blue and gave her a shoulder to cry on.

For the first time in forever, Audrey felt emotional and her eyes turned teary.

She held Blue so tightly as she cried.

Audrey : it's okay Blue. Don't waste your precious tears. Please

She unlocked and looked at her.

She wiped her tears and hugged her again.

Blue finally stopped crying but was still choking and sniffing.

Ma'am Nina came to look for her and saw Blue's state

Nina: Blue, why are you crying again?

She was already sad to see her daughter this way

Blue : mother.... Adrian.... He's getting married......

Audrey's face changed and Blue started another phase of crying.

This time she hugged her mother.

Audrey was boiling with anger

How dare they do this to her friend?

Blue doesn't deserve this at all

She felt her fist tightening

Audrey : ma'am Nina, can you please take her home. She can't work in this state

Ma'am Nina nodded and she and Blue walked out
